Qualified Dentist Designation

The Qualified Dentist designation is an entry-level distinction for dentists who are working toward earning certification in dental sleep medicine or becoming the dental director of an accredited facility. This free member benefit enables dentists to demonstrate their knowledge of dental sleep medicine to patients, referring physicians and payers.

The Qualified Dentist designation is a necessary first step that will position your practice for growth. The status will build credibility for the oral appliance therapy service that you offer in the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Plus, AADSM members who obtain the Qualified Dentist designation will recieve additional recognition on the AADSM's Find-a-Dentist online directory.
